Dragons is always a solid reason. The foreshadowing and easter eggs in future books is what I love the most about Robin Hobbs books. Or maybe the characters. The characters are great. And the little chapter starts in all the Fitz books and the Rain Wild Chronicles. I'm going to stop before I get to 50 myself lol.

On to Assassin’s Quest at the moment and love it. I’ve also gone and got the rest of the series. It’s one of the best series I’ve ever read.

I was hanging out at the library in Turners Falls, Massachusetts. A part time librarian who I had become familiar with gave me a box of used books and one of the books was Assassins Apprentice. Robin Hobbs has been my favorite fantasy author ever since. I've read them all.

I've read em all now and boy, is my book hangover immense!! My top reason would be the character relationships. Fitz's dynamic with basically every other character feels so unique and complicated and often heart-wrenching. Especially the Fool, of course. I can't think of any description that would do their bond justice!

Just finished the first trilogy today! Understand all the above! Have you ever read “the kingfountain” series? First is called “the queens poisoner”. It’s one of my favourites and as I was reading Farseer, I got so much kingfountain vibes. So if you like one I think you’ll like the other, They’re on kindle unlimited I think too! It’s about a little boy who is taken by the king to live in the castle as collateral, to ensure his family’s loyalty. There’s magic, found family, politics, and all the other good stuff you’d expect. It will also break your heart. There’s aspects of arthurian legend as well x

A kind word here for the works of Guy Gavrielle Kay. Beautiful prose. Just read the Farseer Trilogy, was moving right along with the political twists and then there were dragons? (In a Monty Python voice) Nobody expects dragons!

Oh the theories! I finished series 4 recently and I have theories about the origin of the Wit magic. I'm hoping seris 5 gives me answers but I'm scared to read it because if you were emotional about series 1 and 3 then 5 will apparently break you into tiny pieces!

I definitely want to read these, though I keep putting them off just cause of how freaking MANY there are lol. Also, in the vein of political fantasy, These Feathered Flames by Alexandra Overy is really good! It's also inspired by Russian folklore!

I know that there are a lot of sub-series and different trilogies for Robin Hobb, but it sounds really interesting! Can you start with any particular trilogy, or is The Farseer trilogy the one to go to for people who have never read her before?
@AFrolicThroughFiction 3 жыл бұрын
Farseer is the best to start with as all of the books with Fitz in require them (so two other series) and context would be missed in the others, but if you really wanted to, you could start with the Liveshop Traders trilogy of the Rainwild books

I finished Farseer and loved it. Now I've started Liveship Traders and I already think Kyle is going to be the character I hate as much as I hated Regal.

I started Book 1 earlier this year, but I couldn't enjoy the writing style. I found it a bit slow and DNF. Although I don't think it was time to read it, after this video I'll try to read it one more time and hope to enjoy it more.

I wish people didn’t mention dragons before I started reading. It would have hit me harder if that was never told to me. Though an edition of the last book had literally that on the cover! I feel like their reveal is so important it almost counts as a spoiler

It's absolutely worth a shot at any age! It's not confusing, dark/gory or anything, it's a coming of age fantasy and really wholesome ^•^

Always worth giving a go but if you find you can’t get into it, I’d try again in the future! I didn’t love it my first time round when I was around your age but adore it now

So is this the best place to start with her books? I've wanted to give her a try but kept getting confused on where the world actually begins...

Yep, this would be the best ☺️ you can start with W couple of her other series but honestly it’s just easier to start here in terms of timeline
@blairelytton9303 2 жыл бұрын
If you love fantasy, you should definitely read SCARLETT LOST IN THE FIVE LANDS by Rajendra Sarilla. It's an amazing fantasy novel with powerful female characters and mind blowing war scenes. I read it on Kindle since paperback was not available outside India. It has dragons, magic school, multiple villains and people of different skin colours - blue, silver, pale, brown. A fragmented society based on skin colour. It's a good fantasy that deals with racism and bullying.

Tried the first one. Couldn't get past the first 100 pages. I hated every single character, empathized with none except the animals, had killing instincts. DNF 🤷♀️ I still can't understand whether I did not catch the story somehow or what.
@AFrolicThroughFiction 3 жыл бұрын
To be fair, none of the characters are particularly likeable early on, and it’s a slow series. I rated the first book 3 stars when I initially read it years ago, but adore them now
